Winter Savory + Ceritinib
Ceritinib brand name: Zykadia.
We found no known interaction between Winter Savory and Ceritinib in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Ceritinib states a food rule worth keeping to.
Winter Savory and Ceritinib
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Ceritinib and Winter Savory in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.
Winter Savory safety at a glance
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Why No Interaction Is Listed for Ceritinib
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Ceritinib is filed under 3 classifications — qt interval-prolonging drugs, hepatotoxic drugs, oral drugs. Winter Savory has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being lithium (moderate) — and none of Ceritinib’s classifications are among them.
Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

Some Ceritinib Products Have a Food Rule — Winter Savory Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Ceritinib says to take it with food. If you take Winter Savory on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Ceritinib with a meal where the label says to.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Ceritinib products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended Dosage: 450 mg orally once daily with food.
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Ceritinib — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›
A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ceritinib page
“Ceritinib (Zykadia) treats ALK-positive lung cancer, and its label already warns about liver injury and heart rhythm changes, so this list of 67 supplements calls for genuine care. Ten interactions rate major, and most of the risk runs along two lines the drug is already prone to: 38 ingredients can stress the liver, and 13 can prolong…”

About Winter Savory
What is Winter Savory?
- Digestive upset and gas
- Sore throat
- Antimicrobial
- Cough
- Seasoning food
Winter savory is a culinary herb in the mint family used mainly to flavor food and, in folk medicine, to ease digestion and sore throats. Solid human research is very limited, so it should not be relied on to treat any health condition. It is generally considered safe in food amounts, but concentrated extracts and the essential oil call for more caution.
Satureja montana · Lamiaceae · Leaves, flowering tops, and essential oil · Culinary herb, tea, dried herb, capsules, essential oil
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Winter Savory is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Winter Savory record says about it on its own.
Winter Savory: dosing
There is no established, standardized medicinal dose for winter savory. Most people simply use it as a seasoning in cooking, which is considered the safest way to enjoy it.If you choose a tea, capsule, or essential oil product, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the suggested amount. Essential oils are very concentrated and require special handling and dilution.
